Hi,

 

I've got a Unix host that I do not control, but suspect that performance problems are happening due to it being bogged down.  I have successfully set up Ethereal to capture all telnet traffic, and have a LOT of data to weed through.  I saw on the web page that the latest version has a function to report "response time" but I couldn't find anything specific in the man pages to help with what I'm trying to detect.


If anyone has done this, or has ideas, I'd love to hear about it.  What I guess I intend to do is to watch characters flow into the unix host, and see the echo coming back to the client, and see the time-delta to prove/disprove that the box itself has a problem...

 

FWIW, I am capturing from a monitoring port on the same switch with the host in question. 

 

Thanks in advance!!!!!!
